My boyfriend broke up with me. We are still friends. How long should I wait before I flirt with someone else?
My boyfriend (M26) broke up with me (F24) a week ago, because “he didn’t love me as much as he once did”. I’m quite okay with the breakup.
My ex asked me to makeup a few days ago, but I’m not interested because he said very hurtful things when he broke up with me.
The relationship lasted for 1 year and a half. We had been friends for 4 years before that. We chose to still remain friends, because we have the same friends group. This group of friends meets every weekend to hang out in public spaces.
Before we started dating, me and this guy “Peter” used to flirt. Peter is a close friend of a friend me and my ex have in common, and is an acquaintance to both me and my ex.
How long should I wait before I make a move and flirt with Peter again?
Netizens’ comments
- 0.1 seconds is enough. You don’t need to wait
- If he broke up with you, you have NO obligation to him whatsoever. You can start flirting the same day if you want.
- if he broke up with you a week ago, you should have been starting flirting 6 days ago
- The real question is are you ready to stop being friends. If you date someone in the group, you may split the group unintentionally.
- Get flirting as soon as you want. He broke up with you. You don’t owe him anything.
